Maths in action

As a class we love getting outside when we’re learning. And lucky for us the weather was stunning (if not a little chilly!). 

Learners have been investigating measurement in the classroom (using personal benchmarks, estimating and learning about units of measurement). 

They used these skills to find out more about their outside learning environment. 

Galileo! Galileo! Galileo!

Here are some of our favourite parts of our trip:

Pulling the balls on the Newtons cradle and watching them swing - Lily.

Putting the balls down the ramps and making them roll down - Andie.
